Fw: X Configuration
Hi I sent this message a couple of days ago with no answer. It seems like I have a problem with no /dev/mem device. MAKEDEV doesn't
know this device so can anyone tell me what the major/minor node numbers are for this device (ls -l /dev/mem should do, unless it is
dependant on the memory configuration, etc.)
